Raleigh Ritchie has unshackled another new cut ahead of his debut record - this one's called "Never Better".
The track features on Ritchie's debut record You're A Man Now, Boy alongside the likes of the title track, Stormzy collaboration "Keep It Simple", and "Bloodsport '15".
It's another potent blend of modern R&B and symphonic pop, with swooping strings and clicking beats underpinning Ritchie's glorious vocals.
You're A Man Now, Boy is released on 26 February via Columbia Records.
